The Stealth Hippopotamus:nekom: You do realize that the death penalty is more expensive, don't you? Legal fees and all that.

expensive, but worth it.

The SOB was 17 when he shot up his school, so he's ineligible as per the Supreme Court (Roper v. Simmons, 543 US 551, 2005). While they cannot execute him, they can lock him up in a supermax prison, depriving him of most human contact for the rest of his life, which is both cheaper and possibly as bad as or worse than death.

I think this is a time where the appropriate sentence would be the victim's families, at any time on any day, can request him to leave his cell and get one extremely hard kick in the balls from each of them.

Let's see him try to masturbate to murders when his balls are larger than grapefruits from swelling.

We're going to see 10-15-20-30 etc etc year anniversary special out of this eff-wad. Oh! And if he finds religion we going to see him more often then that!

If we kill him we only have to worry about him being in the 10-15 and maybe the 20th year shows

I was thinking that we need to figure out a "hurry up and die" method of incarceration. Sensory deprivation with an unlimited supply of junk food sounds like a start.

Only because of the bleeding hearts. People like this don't deserve appeals. Sorry, but the only way to peace is to eliminate hate. Sure, we'll lose a few innocents, but in the end the world will be a happy place.

For now. Remember these threads before Roper? Death is preferable, prison is the harsher punishment, abolish the death penalty and keep the bastards locked up for the rest of their lives. Now that the Supreme Court has obliged, life imprisonment is the new worst thing ever, only loser countries do it, etc etc. The same talking points and lawsuits will now be used in an effort to get life sentences outlawed.

scottydoesntknow:Ritley: The fact that most people think its OK for people to be raped/killed in prison is more sickening than this crime.

Ohh this is gonna be good!

*grabs popcorn*

I don't agree with the comparison, but there is some truth in this. Prisons are "supposed" to reform and rehabilitate. They most certainly do not, nor is it the intention of the justice system for that to be the case. People go to prison and become hardened and detached. What the hell is the point of a prison system if it does nothing to deter crime or rehabilitate people? Just fast track all the criminals to death - watch how fast crime drops. Sure, violent crimes may not drop, but the overall rate certainly will.

Yeah, there are many holes in this fantasy of mine, but I can't help but think if we had a justice system that actually "tried" to do some good, we'd probably see a change.

I want to become his pen pal so I can send him letters such as "Had a great day out at the beach with the girlfriend we laid out and swam in the morning then in the afternoon we took out a sailboat. We ended up having sex on the sailboat and then that evening I made love to her on the beach as the sunset. We then had a wonderful steak dinner where the steak could be cut with a fork afterwards we had drinks and danced at a club. We got back to the hotel around 12 am and had sex about three times before taking a shower together then falling asleep in each other's arms. How was your day? Oh wait never mind I don't want to know because you are locked up in prison and will never get out."

For some, death would be a welcome release. For some, any attention no matter how negative, is attention that they crave.

This guy wants to be focused on. A death penalty would keep is ass in the news due to appeals. Putting him in general population would allow him to continue his attention whoring. This guy craves attention, no matter how it is received.

Put him in a dark, solitary cell. No human contact. No outside contact. No means of killing himself. Feed him the minimum required to continue living. Nothing to do but stare at a wall, until the day he dies. A punishment worse than death, because a death sentence means people will remember you (simply for the fact that just about everyone that gets a death sentence gets a spot in the infamous halls of fame). Wasting away forgotten and alone means no one will remember you.
